No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Wow! You're lucky! The UK Antiques Roadshow rarely has any glass on it, and if they do it's one token piece, usually Lalique or something that's 'well-known' by Jo Public! In fact, all the UK antiques shows very rarely if ever seem to show glass of any sort on them! It's great to see the American show celebrating not only glass, but glass paperweights! And celebrating their own 'home-grown' paperweights, too! :hiclp:

Thanks for sharing that clip, Rose! :kissy:

We went to the filming of the Antiques Roadshow at Bletchingly last year. The two ladies in front of us in the queue were actually filmed and appeared on the show! They had .... wait for it ... a rare Lalique vase! :24:

Not only are the museum and glass blowing centre superb, but in the small areas of land around the centre I compiled my first list of 30 North American bird species, which included really handsome examples of Hairy & Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, Yellow Warbler, Northern Cardinal, Orchard Oriole, a pair of Red-tailed Hawk and an impressive Turkey Vulture. Oh, yes, and a sadly dead Ruby-throated Hummingbird (but superb colours).
